-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com after a bloody weekend battle the body count soars in ukraine. now the blame game and the pleas for the u.s. to intervene. triumph for the clippers after, oh, you know, a trying week in the spotlight. two big wins for this team this morning one week after the donald sterling saga stole their thunder. and washington goes hollywood, well, they tried. they got close. the stars came out, of course, and so did the jokes. >> the house republicans actually give john boehner a harder time than they give me, which means orange really is the

new black. you start your morning off with a few zingers, get you in a good mood. there's more of those to come. i'm christi. >> i'm victor blackwell, 6:00 on the east coast, this is "new day" sunday. >> the clippers have a reason to celebrate. >> playing in their first ever playoff game seven at home, they knocked off the golden state warriors in front of 20,000 screaming fans. the final 126-121, chris paul here, the clippers star point guard. >> it's going to sound crazy but it was all about tonight. everything else was in the past, couldn't dwell on all that different type stuff and not diminish how serious everything's been in the past week or so, it was all about

basketball tonight. >> what's more, the franchise is now getting a new leader with owner donald sterling banned from the league for life over those racist audio recordings that leaked last weekend, the nba trying to force the 80-year-old billionaire to sell the team. the league announcing it's appointing a new chief executive officer to oversee the clippers' day-to-day operations a move the owner's wife and the clippers support. >> check off last night's "saturday night live" show. >> i have skied to sell the lossagelers clippers for the bargain price of $1 billion. i know that sounds like a lot of money, i'm making a lot of money but remember the nba already fined me $2.5 million so i'll only be clearing $998 million. i hope to use every penny to

repair my relationship with the plaque community especially magic johnson who is clearly one of the good ones. so i have been learning about your history. today i watched "roots" on tv and that quest love very talented boy. i have also agreed to put up $3 million to do my own version of the million man march, so this june, donald sterling's million man cruise will take thousands of black men on a wondrous journey to the beautiful ivory coast of africa, to never come back. >> oh. cnn sports joe carter joining us now. >> that's the first time i've seen that. >> me, too. >> that's funny. they know how to hit the nail on the head, say the joke everybody's thinking. i love how they give a northeastern accent. i think donald sterling has been living from california his whole life. >> i don't think that i've heard

donald sterling that much other than the recording so i didn't know how true to, you know, that was. >> it was good, though, very funny. last night was a huge win as chris paul said for them, being able to advance to the second round something the clippers, we're not used to having the clippers having post season success. they were known as the bad news bears of the nba. >> or regular success. >> right. when donald sterling took over the team in 1981, since then they've had a 36% ratio. in 2009 they got the number one overall pick in blake griffin, they got chris paul in 2011 and the nba all you need is two superstars and they've got them to have success. this has been a build the last three years. really the emotion this team has gone through, the up and down on and off the court emotion, i love how they didn't let the distraction happening with donald sterling saga distract them and take away from what on

paper people predicted they would win this series. they're a better team than golden state and golden state gave them everything they have. they put up 121 points last night and the clippers were still able to beat them at home. i love what blake griffin said afterwards. doc rivers won a championship with boston in 2008, been here before but the emotion you saw him last night, high fiving the players, pumping his fist and blake griffin after the game summarizing what this week has been like for these guys. >> it's kind of all in the past. we had that baggage with us for that series but now it's pretty much over. i mean, it's obviously still lingers but not quite the same, so hopefully we just get locked in tomorrow, do what we got to do do and have a good showing. >> they face the oklahoma city thunder, the team that many believe will take on the heat and the finals very big task ahead of him in terms of

basketball. >> joe carter, thank you so much. with he appreciate it. >> thank you. so from health kcare.gov to hillary for participant, few topics were immune to last night's correspondents dinner. >> they put on a pretty good show for the washington and hollywood elite. ♪ >> the vice president isn't here tonight, not for security reasons. he just thought this event was being held at the dulles airport app applebee's. right now, joe is elbow deep in jalapeno poppers and talking to a construction cone he thinks is john boehner. >> and i'm feeling sorry, believe it or not, for the speaker of the house as well. these days the house republicans

actually give john boehner a hadhad harder time than they give me, which really means orange is the new black. i got a lot of grief on cable news for promoting owe bamacare to young people between two firs. i'm not the first on television between two potted plants. an american won the boston march than for the first time in 30 years. which was inspiring, and only fair, since a kenyan has been president for the last six. of course, we rolled out healthcare.gov. that could have gone better. >> but thanks to obamacare or as

the president refers to it, mecare, millions of newly insured young americans can visit a doctor's office and see what a print magazine actually looks like. that's awesome. >> let's face the facts, you'll miss me when i'm gone. it will be harder to convince the american people that hillary was born in kenya. >> hillary clinton has a lot going for her as a candidate. she has experience. she's a natural leader, and as our first female president, with copay her 30% less. that's the saving this country could use. >> no one was safe last night. >> oh my gosh. >> you saw the crowd shots there, all the political power brokers, the hollywood a-listers in full force, the washington hilton. >> cnn national correspondent

suzanne malveaux and nischelle turner were in on the action. good morning, ladies. >> reporter: it was an amazing night really, it was the 100th anniversary of the white house correspondents association so there was some history there as well but as you could imagine there were some zingers. >> some? >> coming from the president who i thought he was pretty funny. there were some moments of course when he really went after his open healthcare.gov site saying it went from yes we can to control-alt-delete and brings in his former hhs secretary to fix something. that went a bit a step farther than even i anticipated. >> you know, he did a lot. he went there. the president definitely wept there, didn't hold back. if joel mchale was assessing he would say he was healthcare.g healthcare.gov'ing all over everybody. he talked about healthcare.gov, kind of became the moniker for

everything that's bad. he had a little fun with that but he had some zingers, too. we were watching, we were cringing a lot. on our air on the coverage, ben stein was none too happy with joel mchale's assessment with c chris christie. i thought he got mean from actor to actor, the robert de niro line was a gut puncher when he said his agent picks up the phone and says he'll do it because robert de niro is one of the legendary actors but he was an equal opportunity offender. >> one of the people that took a real hit was new jersey governor chris christie in the audience, clearly losing weight but the scandal, the questions surrounding bridgegate and closing the bridges kept getting nailed not only by the president but also by the comedian joel as well, and they hit him on his weight. which didn't really seem fair to me. >> don't you think he knew he

was going to get it, though, coming? >> you got to know. in the audience you realize this is a roast. that's what we got. >> he's had a rough year but it was a good night and the crowd was good, the celebrities were out. >> we talked to a lot of them. >> we got our geek on. >> we're going to do it next year. >> exactly, back to you guys. >> certainly looks like a good time. suzanne malveaux, nischelle turner, thank you. we have a winner at the kent ken derby. we'll tell you about the horse that outpaced 18 others on the way to the triple kroucrown. >> it wasn't vic is in trouble. blame game, after this, a violent bloody weekend in ukraine. could we see russia get more involved? aflac. ♪ aflac, aflac, aflac! ♪

only from xfinity. tv and internet together like never before. the recent days of chaos and the violence in the eastern part of ukraine appear to be now pushing the country closer potentially to civil war. >> with violence spilling into even more cities, this weekend russia's blaming the kiev-based government for targeting pro-russian separatists. >> nick paton walsh is near s f slaviansk. what is happening there now? >> reporter: victor t is quiet at the this point but that doesn't take away from how extraordinarily volatile the swaition is. we have the ukraine military

consistently moving around this hotbed of slaviansk and reports of a helicopter in the sky near the city as well that comes after 24 hours of real violence here, clashes in the outskirts of slaviansk, the ukrainian military lost two of their paratroopers, 12 injured and we met many civilians in local hospital who said they had been shot in the legs, below the waist during the ex-change. the troops came under fire, the troops tried to went out and when blocked started shooting. clearly a lot of hostility from local residents towards the ukrainian soldiers. they have almost an impossible job facing quite well trained pro-russian militants who have good equipment, we saw with the two helicopters down in the past 48 hours and in kramatorsk yesterday the ukrainian military came in and the interior

minister claimed they held buildings but the russian militants still outside the city and a lot of consternation from locals that the army had opened fire in such a way. >> nick, we know john kerry and sergey lavrov spoke on the phone. do with he know moscow's reaction to this escalating violence this weekend? >> reporter: well, yes, i mean they say this is a crime. they say they're deeply concerned and they reiterate the noise we've been hearing for months now that russia reseshz the right to intervene here in they believe people they referring to their come patriots, russian language speakers around the threat. they've been receiving thousands of calls for intervention and assistance, consider what's happening to be a criminal act. we haven't seen at this point any large scale mobilization to bring those russian troops just across the border in our direction here. that's a possibility and we are hearing from the ukrainian prime

minister a substantial military maneuvers bolstering the russian military presence in crimea which they annexed only a month ago. some say it's not the game plan of the kremlin to intervene. we see a worsening death toll, the deaths of over 40 people in a building fire there, that's got a lot of pro-russian sentiment here extraordinarily angry and we have very tense days ahead. >> all right, nick paton walsh, thank you for bringing us the latest from that region. we appreciate it. look, we're now on day 58 since the disappearance of flight 370 and this is a pivotal moment because investigators are preparing to regroup and reorganize the search for the flight almost two months as we said after the plane vanished. what will the next phase be? how will tomorrow's trilateral meeting mean big changes?

think about this for the families, 58 days since malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared and so far officials have not found one single piece of debris from the boeing 777. this is baffling. >> it's unbelievable but here's what we know. the u.s. will extend the deployment of the high-tech underwater robot, bluefin 21 until at least the end of the month. so far 18 deep sea missions have turned up as christi said nothing. >> three bangladeshi naval ships

single piece of debris from the plane in spite of the best efforts of 26 countries. the visual search is over. they're focusing on the underwater search. the bluefin contract is costing alone that little piece of equipment $40,000 a day and now they're going to be talking about other equipment they can bring in, the cost of that, who they're going to hire. they need the help of private contractors from a lot of different countries. there are companies in malaysia interested in doing some of the work, countries from all over the world so that's what this meeting will be about and then we're expecting a pretty big press conference afterwards, where we will get an update how this next phase will proceed. >> we have to acknowledge, will, this report by "the daily mail" that's fueling theories terrorism may have been involved. i say that because according to the report, 11 terrorists with ties to al qaeda were arrested last week near kuala lumpur. this was coming from "the daily mail" but what are officials

saying? >> reporter: well "the daily mail" report connected these arrests of these 11 suspected militants to mh-370, something that the malaysia police are flat out are denying to cnn and every other news agency that contacted them. this has not been uncommon in the past weeks one news outlet will come up with a big exclusive with a link to mh-370, when we check out the information and try to confirm it through our own independent sources it turns out in not to be legit. any connection of the missing splaen being strongly denied. malaysia is a strong partner with the united states and counterterrorism. it's one of the big topics president owe ba in discussed here in kuala lumpur when he was here last week. it's not uncommon for u.s. intelligence officials to work with malaysian intelligence officials to try to prevent terrorist attacks here and other countries around the world. that's what we're seeing in this investigation. >> absolutely, just the timing of 11 terrorist arrests people would question if there's a

connection. good to make sure we got the clarification out. will ripley, thank you very much. >> thu, will. the l.a. clippers celebrating i'm sure their huge win last night. the drama, though, you know that is still brewing in the front offices as the nba takes another big move in hopes of forcing on it alleged sterling to give up his valuable team. i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn. because you can't beat zero heartburn. woo hoo!

>> lloyd "money" mayweather won last night. amarcos maydana fought back. mayweather has a perfect 46-0 career record. the l.a. clippers are getting a new clstart with dona sterling being forced to sell the team. the league is announcing it's appointing a new chief executive officer to oversee day-to-day operations. >> joey jackson and danny cevallos, good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> glad you to coget up early with us. >> very early. >> i know. does it seem odd the league has a right to bring in a ceo to run a team but doesn't have the

power to force an owner out? joey? >> yes, no. absolutely. go ahead, joey, you first. >> it does not at all. the reality is this, if you're going to force an owner out, of course it needs to be due process and that due process involved the board of governors, which is, constitutes the owners of the 29 other teams to take a vote. we know that anded that, that's in the nba's bylaws and in their constitution but also christi very important is there hases to be a rudder at the beginning of the ship, right? there has to be someone who steers that and so certainly i think with the appointment of an executive who can now bring the team into the future, i think that's very important and something that's going to be done throughout this process to ensure the long-term viability of the clippers in the absence of donald sterling. >> danny, they're replacing the ceo but there is a team president. is he not qualified? >> i respectfully disagree with the great joey jackson.

this process in the nba resem e resembles nothing like due process. silver, the nba commissioner is essentially the emperor, he has dictated the direction this is going and the bylaws allow for him to do a lot of things. he has plenty authority to do a lot of things before these owners convene a vote. the only thing they're convening to vote on is whether to oust sterling from the league. the fine and the lifetime ban are essentially not reviewable. i think i'm in the minority when i say this, look for the owners to potentially change their mind over the next couple days. they're all fiercely independent thinkers, they're titans of their respective industries. these people have their own opinions and they may be concerned as many have been about being punished strictly for your thoughts however detestable they are. >> let me put this out there, joey. shelly sterling, donald's wife

and team's co-owner supports this move to bring in a new ceo and you wonder if donald sterling can fight it but i mean that's some pretty big influence for this. >> it's all about economics. here's why i think the owners will be in unison it comes down to money. who is going to support the team in the absence of donald sterling be removed? you will not have players who will play for you, sponsors who support the team and certainly not have fans who go there and give the team what they need to get over the hump as they did last night, congratulations l.a. clippers for moving forward and so that's why you see this broad base of support, christi. i think the reality is that while the nba commissioner does have this authority, he needs the authority and so could there be a lawsuit here? yes, he could sue. i think at the end of the day he loses, we move forward, the nba

is a more viable organization in his absence, everybody knows that and that's why there is that he broad support that you see that i believe will remain. >> i wonder, though, in a town, the lakers have been successful but for l.a. clippers fans hungry for success for decades, if they pull off an nba championship win, is that not the ultimate panacea? >> that will be great. >> it's a great story, isn't it? it could happen. >> danny, go ahead. >> that would be a great emotional victory, but as a non-clippers fan and more of a fan of the legal proceedings here, i think the most compelling thing is, yes, players as joey says could refuse to play but how realistic is that? i think this creates, although i agree with a lot of what joey says, at the same time this creates a dangerous precedent. what will the nba have to do in terms of policing private thoughts going forward? how afraid should somebody be if they come out with a music album

that maybe has some words that are detestable or some opinions that are bad, accidentally made public which is exactly what happened here. i think this is a dangerous precedent. while the nba has the power and authority to do what it is doing, what this does this say about our policing going forward? >> but here's the problem. the bigger problem is we live in a day and age of social media. what we do in our living room, christi, victor, danny s made known to the world, what we do is on twitter and facebook. no longer do we have that privacy and the real sit if it's transmitted to everyone and your conduct brings brings such disrepute to the league and it forces to you take legal action. it was done and i believe it will be sustained at the end of the day. >> that's joey's hook and he's right. >> you agree with me now. >> he's right. he's right. >> gentlemen, thank you again for getting up early.

>> thank you, christi. take care, victor. >> bye, danny. let's turn overseas to this story getting attention not only in the country in which it happened but around the world, more than 200 nigerian girls kidnapped and millions of people are taking notice from a firestorm on twitter to protesters here. you see on thursday it's happening around the world, we're talking about this campaign to bring back our daughters. i feel more confident on the court than i have in my life. >> venus hasn't always been so optimistic about her future. three years ago she told the world that she was suffering from a fatigue zapping disease.

>> i see it as a challenge, because in my life i've never been defeated by anything. i've lost and had to learn but i've never had to lay down the towel. >> do you have days where you can't get out of bed and just feel like i'm just going to sleep all day? is that how it works? >> yes, i do have days where i feel like that but i don't stay in bed because that makes me anxious. i guess that sums it up and i realize i have to get the work in because i've really been to the bottom, you know? so once you get that far down, once you get back up, you realize that you have really nothing to lose.

17 minutes before the top of the hour and secretary of state john kerry has been in south sudan to facilitate talks there.

he said the country's president will meet with his rebel opponent next week for discussions. thousands of people have died in south sudan because of drought and political violence. we covered it here on "new day." the country celebrated its independence from sudan three years ago after an internationally broker eed referendum. secretary kerry is joining the thousands of voices around the world speaking about the 200 girls kidnapped in nigeria. he called it unconscionable. >> not for sale! not for sale! >> rallies from new york to london demanding the terrorist group "bring back our girls" imploring the nigerian government to take some action. >> that phrase is now becoming a call for action, "bring back our girls" has ignited across social media, calling attention to a story that has been largely

overlooked for a couple of weeks, at least until now. >> let's bring in cnn editorial producer nadia bilchick for more on that. yousafzai put out a tweet that i retweeted because it's just gets to the core. talk to us about what we know regarding how these girls were kidnapped. >> what we know is that supposedly a muslim fundamentalist group on the 15th of april came into a school at night and captured these 270 or so girls. that's what we do know. the word boca haram in the nigerian dialect actually means western education is sin. so you ask why they took these girls? first of all they abduct them to convert them to cook for them, clean for them and sometimes to

marry them. victor, you and i were talking about the headline girls sold for $12. it is not accurate. what historically happens to the girls, say they're abducted by the militants. militant will decide this girl i want to marry, so to speak. he will then pay the group leader about $12 to own her. there is also political ramification to the abduction because this destabilizes the southern christian government of president goodluck jonathan. boca haram has not taken responsibility for this. we assume it is them. they took responsibility for the bucha bombings that happened 24 hours before the abductions in the d.c. of nigeria, a metro station was bombed. they haven't yet claimed for responsibility for this and the my genian assume it is boca haram. >> let's talk about the response from president goodluck

jonathan. the reports i'm hearing is that there were initially questions and misleading statements made about where they were abducted, how many were abducted, how many escaped and seemed as if the first couple of weeks were bungled in this search >> there still seems to be a lack of transparentally. cnn is trying to reach the military and the government. they've asked us to abstain. of course we will not. there is a total lack of transparentally. i spoke to two journalists yesterday encouraged by this worldwide twitter campaign, people like malala yousafzai who is really the voice of female education in islamic world. she was shot by the taliban, people carry this weight of encouragement. also confusion, why can't they find these girls. i don't know if you remember the 25th of february there was another horrific incident with

the boys dormitories shot, the boys were burnt alive. the girls were told to go home and marry, then boca haram, western education is sin. so this is what happened. the military did little in that moment. they even evacuated their post two hours before the incident so nigerians very suspicious of the government, what are they actually doing but in the north, there is support for boca haram and will we find these girls in a dense forested area, no electricity, no cell phone service more questions than answers at this point. >> specifically when is the government or somebody going to do something and hopefully this worldwide call will get something moving that would actually give them -- >> #bringbackourgirls. >> thank you so much, we appreciate it. all righty, certainly i would think the president is watching that, we know, very carefully.

along with secretary kerry. >> also this lighter note last night. >> we talk about how do we make this transition this morning, we were talking how does the president make the transition from the ukraine crisis in this kind of story to what they were doing last night at the correspondents dinner because there was a lot of joking going on. >> he found a way to poke fun at himself, poke fun at healthcare.gov, the rivals, the reporter, all at the annual white house correspondents dinner. we'll show you some of that coming up.

weekend, the l.a. clippers have a new leader at least soon they will, donald sterling the owner of the team, of course you know, banned from life from the league over the racest audio recordings that leaked last weekend. the nba is trying to force out the 80-year-old billionaire to sell the team. the league announced that it is appointing a new chief executive officer so oversee the day-to-day clippers operations. >> this of course all coming as the team knocked off the golden state warriors in front of 20,000 screaming fans last night. the final was 126 to 121, congrats to them. even sterling's wife shelly who is a co-owner of the franchise showed up to the game to watch her team advance in the playoffs. cnn sports joe carter joining us now. this is obviously a huge win, joe, not only because of the drama off the court but the clippers, i mean, my goodness, they've only advanced in the second round what, three times since 19 6? >> yes, i love the basketball knowledge, christ i, very good. this team has been known as the

bad news bears of the nba for years and they've been building toward this process since they drafted blake griffin in 009, the first overall pick. they got chris paul through a trade in 2011. you know in the nba if you have two stars you have a great chance of making playoff success. what a win last night. i felt like the clippers showed a lot of moxie, because in that game they were down by double digits at halftime, they trailed for three quarters of the game and they came back and doc rivers the coach you see on the screen there at the end, the last 20 seconds of the game started giving high fives, pumping his fist. you could tell this has been the longest week of this basketball franchi franchise's life and chris paul said his team put aside a week's worth of controversy and really focused on the task at hand. >> it's going to sound crazy but it was all about tonight. everything else was in the past, couldn't dwell on all that different type stuff and not to

diminish how serious everything's been the past week or so, it was all about bobl tonight. >> they have a tough tas achead of them, they play the oklahoma city thunder next. lot predict oklahoma in the finals. it's emotion and momentum and the clippers have both right now. >> joe carter, thank you very much. >> thank you. all right, let's talk about malaysia. there's a new report fueling suspicions that terrorism may have played a part in the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight 370. we want to clarify all of this. according to "the daily mail" 11 terrorists with al qaeda ties were arrested last week near kuala lumpur and interrogated about the missing plane. this morning lama lags authoriti malaysian authorities are

pushing hard. >> what are you hearing from the official there is about this is just a report from "the daily mail" nick paton walsh, what are officials saying? >> reporter: they're saying the only thing that's accurate is the fact there were 11 suspected militants arrested. any tie to the missing plane they are outright dismissing, strongly denying. told one local newspaper it is rubbish. malaysia and the united states often work together on the counterterrorism operations, something they're constantly investigating. these suspected terrorists, 11 of them were arrested, they're expecting more arrests relatively soon as part of this ongoing investigation trying to prevent attacks in malaysia and other countries in the asia-pacific region including thailand, where some of these people were arrested. so that's what we know. no link confirmed to cnn or any other news outlet other than this one report connecting it to the missing plane.

we're constantly checking leads all the time and if we get any information that's verified we'll pass it along to you. >> thank you for making that clarification. we want to make sure the right information is out there. tomorrow we expect the trilateral meeting so they can talk about the next phase of the seven operation. do y-- search operation. do you know where that stands? >> the delegations from malaysia and china are in sydney, australia. earlier today they had briefings to get them prepared for the big meeting which happens in cambra, australia, first thing monday morning. we have the delegation from malaysia, the acting transport minister and the delegation from china and getting together with the delegation from australia in cambra and they'll talk about the next phase of the search for flight 370. how are they going to spend that estimated $60 million and how are they going to spend the next up to a year sevening this area and the southern indian ocean

[ speaking in foreign language ] >> that pop, pop, the sound of gunfire, has become common on the streets of eastern ukraine as days of chaos and violence appear to be pushing the country potentially closer to civil war. >> with violence spilling into even more cities this weekend, russia's blaming the kiev-based government for targeting pro-russian separate is. >> senior international correspondent matthew chance is live from moscow. matthew, u.s. secretary of state john kerry spoke with the russian more than minister sergey lavrov on the phone. what is moscow's reaction to this escalating violence? >> moscow's reaction is that it's appalled by it and it's acted and responded with outrage verbally at least, with what's taken place. we've had at least 42 people killed in the southern ukrainian city of odessa. the majority of them pro-russian

supporters. that's something that's outraged the governments of russia, the kremlin saying they've received thousands of pleas of support, pleas for help from people all across southern and eastern ukraine and of course the big question is whether the russians are going to go further than that and perhaps deploy the tens of thousands of russian troops they've had stationed for several months on the border of eastern ukraine and western russia to carry out a further invasion. remember, russia has reserved the right to protect the interests of russian speakers and ethnic russians all over ukraine, and so this ukrainian military operation is a big risk. it could provoke a very violent military backlash from the kremlin. at the moment it hasn't but that's high up in people's minds, victor. >> i think everybody knows the kiev government ukraine is just not prepared to fight off the power that russia has. i know ukrainian prime minister

spoke in odessa earlier. what did he have to say about this? >> yes, arseniy yatsenyuk inherited an extremely difficult situation in ukraine. he traveled to odessa where so many of those people died over the past 24, 36 hours and basically called for unity amongst the ukrainian people. 'cused russian special servic , he accused russian special forces of firing upon ukrainian troops and also issued some guarantees there would be a devolution of power to the eastern region and a sort of guarantee enshrined in a new ukrainian constitution that the russian rang wanlg would be an official language in ukraine as well, something that's been a

major concern for moscow, in fact. and so it seems that prime minister yatsenyuk is talking the language of federalism, kind of giving as much as he can to try and keep this very fragile country together. >> matthew chance, so appreciate the update interest from moscow, thank you. >> thank you, matthew. president obama also struck a serious tone during last night's white house correspondents dinner. just for a moment. >> just for a second. because he had some fun and he did it at his own expense. >> yes. >> we rolled out healthcare.gov. that could have gone better. >> to say the least. right? >> that wasn't the only dig at himself. you'll hear a few more. this is the first power plant in the country to combine solar and natural gas at the same location. during the day, we generate as much electricity as we can using solar.
